ITFS Animation Special: Female Gaze

In the organizer's words:

Rotating bodies, singing fish, circling thoughts - this The Animation Special "Female Gaze - Female Animation Artists and their View of the World" is dedicated to the unique perspectives of European female animation artists and their creative exploration of the medium. All of the films shown are by female directors with a connection to Stuttgart and the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) and many of them will be represented with their latest works in the International Competition at the next festival edition in May.

The audience can expect a visually and thematically diverse program: from puppet animation to pin screen animation, from oil on glass to watercolor. The films take us on poetic, surreal journeys - to distant galaxies, abandoned shopping malls, call centers, into memories, thoughts and the relationships of women, men and mice. Filmmaker Shoko Hara will be on site for a talk before the screening, after which the ITFS sponsors' association invites you to talk shop in the Bar Rakete. A must for anyone who wants to discover strong stories, artistic innovation and female perspectives in animation!
